Aussie dollars on the Blockchain

Embrace all the benefits of the blockchain economy with the stability and certainty of the Emparta stablecoin infrastructure

Stable

Redeemable

Compliant

Problem

A stable unit of account within the decentralised economy

Crypto markets are volatile. A stable unit of account is critical for the mass adoption of cryptocurrency. Presently, adoption of cryptocurrency for day to day transactions remains comparatively low. Whilst transaction speeds and efficiency continue to improve, price volatility acts as a disincentive for those seeking to use cryptocurrency as a means of reliable and stable commerce.

Solution

The Emparta Stablecoin

Emparta solves this problem by offering unmatched price stability with a 1 to 1 Australian dollar token (eAUD) backed by a compliant, transparent, audited and redeemable treasury.

Emparta also provides a stablecoin infrastructure that can be easily incorporated by partner platforms (decentralised applications, payments systems, exchanges etc.) as a seamless fiat (currency) on
and off ramp that can convert fiat collateral from a user or partner platform into newly minted eAUD stablecoins that are automatically sent to a wallet or a smart contract.

Digitised Dollars on the Blockchain

Easily transferable and redeemable for AUD

The Emparta stablecoin is easily transferable to other crypto wallets and fully redeemable for its underlying cash backing to nominated bank accounts. This offers a critical bridge between the traditional cash economy and the emerging decentralised economy ensuring stability and certainty of value.

Compliant, transparent and audited

Fully transparent and audited treasury

Regular independent third-party attestations and bank feeds assure validation that each and every Emparta token is backed by real cash reserves. Tokens are fully redeemable for their underlying AUD cash value.

How Emparta can be used

Multiple Use Cases

The Emparta stablecoin has multiple use cases beyond just being a safe haven asset for crypto traders.

Stable Token for Traders

Haven from market volatility

Traders can use the Emparta token both as an efficient means to move money between exchanges as well as safe haven from market volatility.

Real dollars for DApps

Bridging traditional commerce and the Blockchain

Emparta can be used by DApps as an onramp and offramp for traditional currency to its users.

Payment Systems

Programmable money on the Blockchain

Using Smart Contracts, Emparta offers automated payments without third parties such as PoS and escrow.
